Saturday Open – 1st of February
Congratulations to Peter Doherty (38pts) on his one-shot victory in our recent Saturday Open. Peter held off stiff competition from Adrian Daly (37 pts) and Kevin Kiely (37 pts). Kevin had a wonderful 2 on the fifth hole that almost secured him the victory! Shaun Duffy secured the gross prize with 33 gross points. A final word goes to Ed Margey, an excellent pair of 2s on the fifth and sixteenth holes put a nice gloss on his score.
